Crews are searching for a 26-year-old woman who was swept into the ocean Monday from a popular beach on the Washington coast, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.
The Coast Guard said it received a call at 10:50 a.m. about a woman who was reportedly swept away by ocean currents while on Rialto Beach near Olympic National Park. The beach is on the Olympic Peninsula northwest of Seattle.
The Coast Guard has two helicopters and a ground crew searching along with people from the Clallam County Sheriff's Office, the La Push Tribal Police Department and the national park.
The National Weather Service in Seattle had issued a small boat advisory and a gale warning along the coast on Monday for strong winds that would cause dangerous seas.
A powerful system was bringing heavy rain, gusty winds, below-average temperatures and a wintry mix to higher elevations in parts of the Northwest, including western Washington and western Oregon, on Monday, the weather service said.
